I feel like every time I take pics of Krista now-a-days, she's just thinking, "run away," and "avoid eye contact at all cost." It gets very frustrating, but luckily I kinda like the "no eye contact" look (or at least, it's growing on me). Do you like the color of one or two better?
Daniel and I did a photoshoot with the girls last night. I have TONS that I really like, so it will take me forever to ps them all and post them here, but I couldn't resist posting this little teaser to get you all excited (this was one of my favs, so they're not all this good). Would you crop this any differently? I have such a hard time knowing what looks best.
Yesterday was the perfect spring cleaning day (which is just about the only day I really clean) and I decided to deep clean the kitchen. Of course, Krista wanted to help, so I gave her a rag and set her on the counter with me. When I went to get the camera, she got a little side-tracked with the dishes, but I thought it was cute anyway. Speaking of dishes, you should see this girl load a dishwasher! She puts all the forks together, all the spoons together, etc., and then she puts all of her plastic spoons and forks together (which is what I do). O.C.D?
Krista has always loved to help Mom and Dad with whatever they're doing. When I put on my gloves and raked leaves in the fall, Krista started helping, so I put her gloves on and we worked side by side. Now, every time Daddy or Mommy do yard work she wants to put on her gloves and help. From a very young age, she loved to clean up which I thought was very unusual. But now I realize that she is just like her Daddy: a clean-freak organizer.
This one is so full of emotion--something I thought I missed with just Dan and Krista around (they are not very emotional). The funny thing is, she can turn it on and off on a dime. The above sequence (with a few steps missing in-between) is a typical crying cycle: she's fine, she begins screaming, I look at her and she instantly starts laughing. Then when she realizes that I am not going to pick her up, the cycle begins again. It really is funny to watch.
People have said that Emma and I are alike in many ways. We are similar in one way for sure; we are both momma's girls. Anyone who knows Emma will tell you that she is happiest when in the arms of her mother, and mom quite enjoys having her there (most of the time).
OOPS! No one told me that sitting next to a bright red wall would cast a red tint over ones' entire face-- hehe. I guess that's why they call it practice, eh? Well, she's gorgeous anyway!
Kay, I can't take credit for this one; Chersten actually captured this gorgeous picture (I just photoshoped it a little). I think it's safe to say that Karen finally got the "sexy look" down!
These two are the cutest and best of people! They were kind enough to let me take their pics. as a birthday present for Dad--but DON'T TELL b/c it's a SURPRISE!!!!!!
Isn't she GORGEOUS! I'm afraid I haven't done her justice. This is my first attempt at back-lighting and I can safely say I have no clue what I'm doing... oh well.
This is a second attempt; it's processed darker and with less blue. I think it probably looks much better than the ones below? In general, do you like these pics bnw or color?
My wonderful, talented, and, of course, beautiful sister Anna took these precious pics back in Jan. She shot in raw, so I was really proud of myself because I figured out how to alter them (as raw photos) and then turn them into jpegs. However, I'm afraid that once again they look great to me, but awful on other computers. I just wanted to confirm that with you before I tried it again.
